Given my druthers, I'd either be independently wealthy or working as a successful photographer with a studio and a high-end clientele. Unfortunately, I've neither won the lottery nor discovered the secret to becoming a successful photographer, so I must work a real job to make ends meet.
It's payday today, although my paycheck won't be direct-deposited until midnight. But on Thursday, I get my "Earnings Statement," which is a paycheck except for the "not a check" notice stamped on it. Every 14 days, my pay goes in and I begin another two-week cycle of budgeting, making sure I can pay the bills and still have some money to put into savings (usually too little), plus pay for small luxuries like dining out from time to time.
It's nice to get that regular paycheck, even if I'm doing a mundane job instead of working in an artistic or creative field full-time. And it certainly beats not getting the check.
